Chapter 322: Eight Winds

The autumn festival has ended, when the night passes, the people of various tribes begin to embark on the way home, they still have their own autumn festival to take care of, the same, Yu Zai issued a "typhoon warning" for everyone, which means that the autumn to winter season, the flow of the wind is not normal, to beware of the roaring Tianshi attack.

In late autumn, even in the south, where the climate is usually hot, there is some coolness, and the leaves of some trees have become slightly yellow.

In winter, people can be idle for a short month, and after the people of the Chifang clan return to the tribe, they begin to strengthen the stability of the house, and Yu Zai meets with the prince Changqin, and as for the direction of discussion, of course, it is about "artistic creation" such as shadow puppetry.

He pondered the science and technology of ancient times, agriculture, pottery, textiles, animal husbandry, bows and arrows, swords and spears, mining, hunting, calendars, writing, carpentry, bone work, masonry, bronze manufacturing......

It's almost time, the great artist Prince Changqin appeared at the right time.

+5 Happiness, consuming a Great Artist to start the city-state's Golden Age and gain an additional 20% of its cultural output.....

This [51] is the golden age coming!

The prosperity of the tribe leads to the prosperity of the cooperatives, and then burns like a spark to the whole south, so that there will be more famous people "admiring the country", and then drive the construction and development of the whole south.

"You think you're a good apprentice? ”

Yu Zai was very surprised, but these things were also expected, as in this "play", he showed a talent that he himself did not know and had never discovered, and it was reasonable to be valued by the prince Changqin.

"That's his business if he wants to, but ....."

Yu Zai is very interesting at the end of the sentence, adding a "twist".

Sure enough, Prince Changqin asked, "But what?"

Yu Zai said: "The performing art of drama, shadow puppetry is only one of the methods of display, the ancient sacrificial chorus, the Central Plains, the Western Wilderness, including our south, singing Shennong's harvest song during the Great Spring Festival, is also a kind of performance method of music and drama. ”

Prince Changqin nodded: "Yes, I also know...."

Yu Zai said: "Have you ever been exposed to stage plays?"

"It's not a shadow puppet, but a shadow puppet turned into a real person, just like the wizards who told the wizards of the Shi clan and the wizards of the Ge Tian clan during the Great Spring Festival, they would dance as gods. ”

Prince Changqin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Wu means that if you replace the shadow puppets who are angry with Zhou Mountain with real people.... But will it be...."

He was halfway through his words, and then shook his head to himself: "No, this is also a way to praise the ancestors, if the warriors dare not jump, the wizards can, just like this Great Autumn Festival?"

"So that's the case, this Great Autumn Festival is similar to the stage play that Wu said?"

"It's just that everyone is still singing and dancing to please the ancestors and everyone, and if you want to perform, then you have to play shadow puppets and think of yourself as that 'character'. ”

The crown prince Changqin said to Yu Zai: "In that case, the behavior of the Fang Xiang clan is similar!"

After Fang Xiangshi was the second concubine of the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor toured the world, and his wife died in the Tao. The Yellow Emperor ordered his mother-in-law to take care of him and established him as Fang Xiang's family.

"The former Zhuan clan had three sons, who died as plague ghosts: one lived in the river and was a malaria ghost, one lived in the water and was a ghost, and the other lived in the palace and was a child who was a little ghost. So, the emperor ordered Fang Xiang's handsome clan to drive away the plague ghosts. ”

Emperor Zhuan had many sons, three of whom were born very strange, that is, the legendary "Charm Spirit", and Emperor Yu was the uncle of Emperor Yu, and Emperor Yu didn't want to kill them, so he sent Fang Xiang's clan to expel them, so that they fled in fear.

Yu Zai threw out the "art knowledge" that could attract his interest one after another, and after the stage play, Yu Zai said:

"In addition to music, dance, piano and songs, the changes in drama come from the rituals of various sacrifices, and those who can please everyone are nothing more than three things, one is what you see, two is what you hear, and three is what you express in your heart. ”

"Music and dance is to show one's mood in the form of music, and this power can infect others and be passed on from generation to generation. ”

"That's 'culture'. ”

Once the emperor released Xun Li, it was ordered that the 'quality' was happy, and the quality was imitated by the beautiful sound of the mountains, forests and valleys to sing, and with the leather, the reels were placed and the drums were beaten with both hands, and the stones were like the sound of God throwing the jade chime, so the beasts listened to it, and they all danced like people.

The prince Changqin said: "The source of Wu for the opera originally came from here! music and dance, qin songs, and drama ......"

"But culture, what's the point?"

When the prince heard the words he had never heard, he was a little interested, and he explained to him:

"The so-called culture, that is, you and me, they, sentient beings, not limited to the human race, the wise ones, the gathering of foreign beasts, the mountains and forests where the gods gather, the tribes and cities inhabited by our human race, and all the symbols we have created, represent our past. ”

"For example, the totem of our tribe used to be a sheep, so this sheep totem is also different from the sheep of other sheep totem tribes, smeared and engraved, this is the sheep of the Chifang clan. ”

(The Lamb in the distance up his ears.) )

"This is our thing, and this symbol is what we created, and this is the beginning of humanity. ”

"Look at the humanities to become the world. From one symbol to many symbols, to our hunting skills, to the songs we sing, to the homes we have built, to all the crafts we have passed down, to all the records of our existence, this is called civilization, and everything that is born in our civilization, everything, good or bad, is our culture. ”

The first time Prince Changqin heard this method of "description", his soul and spirit were deeply shocked, and these words sounded to him like a period of primitive ignorance, suddenly shining a bright light between heaven and earth.

"I understand that the so-called culture is the visible 'spiritual inheritance', the unknown 'ancient ancestors', and the people of later generations look at these ancient cultures, although they can't speak, but they will continue to teach the people who come after them, continue to pass them on, and then create a new culture to pass on to the next generation. ”

The wisdom of the prince Changqin is the wisdom of heaven and man, and after being broken by Yu Zai, it is like an initiation.

"The way of heaven goes to the left, the tunnel moves to the right, humanity is still in the middle, but things are mixed, so the life is also literary!

Prince Changqin means that heaven, earth and man operate with each other without interfering, the sky is on the left, the earth is on the right, and people are in the middle, this character refers to all living beings, and with culture, the three things that originally did not want to be connected are intertwined and mixed, and man and heaven and earth are integrated, which is the world of heaven and man.

Therefore, the act of understanding the destiny of heaven can be abandoned, and the important inheritance is not in the sky but in people's own culture, so it can become "Hugh Lie", the so-called Hugh Lie, is "Shengmei Cause".

Yu Zai said to him seriously: "In addition to these, there are many ways to please the ancestors and sentient beings..."

"Painting, Sculpture, Poetry ....."

The ballads and poems of this era are not separated, or there is no concept of poetry at all, after the prince Changqin listened, he was inspired, and told Yu Zai that he wrote down what he saw and heard on the road in short sentences, and the songs of each place were also compiled, this is "Wind".

"It turns out that the wind is just one of these cultures. ”

Prince Changqin seriously discussed the meaning of "culture" with Yu Zai, and after this day, Prince Changqin spent a whole day, with the help of Yu Zai, to write a volume of slips.

The name of the slip is called "Eight Winds".

There are eight desolations in heaven and earth, so there should be eight winds.

Poetry, songs, music and dance, drama, sculpture, painting, wonders, nothing.

The spectacle is added at the request of the concubine, and the nothingness represents "fantasy".

"Nothing... Is there no place to go, it is said to be in the wilderness of Guangmo. ”

Prince Changqin actually knew the land of nothing, which surprised Yu Zai, of course, according to Changqin, even Guangchengzi, who was half of his teacher, had never arrived at the land of nothing, but he had been to another place, called the Gate of Endless. The world is known as the "Gate of the Underworld".

"I don't know where the place Guangcheng Shi said is, maybe he went in a dream..."

Changqin didn't care about this, and Yu Zai just listened to it.

Of course, there is also the Central Plains in addition to the Eight Wildernesses, but the Central Plains, when the prince Changqin felt that he needed to add an additional Central Plains volume, Yu Zai said that he could add a "process", because the pottery craftsmanship of the Central Plains was very powerful, and of course he muttered a sentence in the back....

"In fact, the people of the Central Plains only need to shout 666....."
